Sitting on the lawn at Millenium Park with wine and noms waiting to see Richard Thompson. Acoustic and with his electric band.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I pushed a little farther today. I was whipped when I stopped but I still felt good. And so far, no heart attack! Win!

I am jealous of you guys. Since buying my Trek bike I've been making it a point to ride at least once every day. I am so overweight and out of shape that so far I have been limiting rides to 10-15 minutes in my local neighborhood. I try and stretch it a little bit more with each ride. I want to get my legs and breath back and am working slowly at getting there. At the end of each ride my legs feel like rubber, but I feel good when I finish. I'm keeping a positive attitude and making sure I get out there every day. I will post sparingly here but will continue to follow the thread for inspiration.

Debbie's dessert from the Floyd's tonight. Ginger cake with green tea ice cream, candied sesame seeds, wasabi mousse and caramelized honey glaze.

Happy Birthday to Peter!

Banger and mash.

My condolences Al. They sound like two unique individuals. We don't get many of those these days. RIP.

Yeah... wow.

That picture is Bruce Lee? I thought that was you John. I guess you all do look the same to me. But I can say that because I have a Chinese friend.

God damn it.

Well, it was...

I always knew you were slick Al. Happy Birthday to Karyl.

This I could agree with.

Seriously? Guys standing around for most of three hours is interesting? (I kid).... I do love baseball though. You can fall asleep in the bottom of the second, wake up in the top of the eighth and still have an hour's worth of game to watch.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go Rangers.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Ok Dinny, I can now cheer for the Rangers.

I , on the other hand, have summoned other Chicago demons. Yes, Red Vodka will cheer on the Hawks.

Some people dis the Dark Lord. They would be wrong.

FFF wings with pickled watermelon.

New York has a hockey team? (Ducks and covers)

Did a butterflied boneless pork chop (split in two for Debbie and I) on the Weber and Brussel Sprouts on the side burner in cast iron with a metric fuckton of butter and a little olive oil to keep things from burning. No pics as we were too busy eating. And it was delicious if I do say so myself.

We did lamb pops on the Weber kettle with MikFoJo sauce. That's Mike, Forest and John sauce. We threw it together today with orange juice, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, honey and dark rum. We basted the lamb with this and it was pretty damned good.

I fear not well Antonio. We shall see.

Well, Lewis and Nico seem to be getting along great now...
